sunday comes afterwards - grammar and joy lyrics
[verse 1]
“god rest ye merry, gentlemen”
the comma’s after “merry”
the syntax is confusing—
i would even say it’s very
they teach this stuff in sunday school
or maybe seminary
with tidings of grammar and joy
grammar and joy
oh, tidings of grammar and joy
[verse 2]
the first four words express a wish
for gentlemen—“god bless
you all with merry qualities
of peace and happiness!”
the gents are thus the targets of
this heavenly largess
oh, tidings of grammar and joy
grammar and joy
oh, tidings of grammar and joy
[verse 3]
this blessing was recorded
first in 1539
it’s doing pretty well for something
that far back in time
at least it’s more accessible
than new year’s “auld lang syne”
oh, tidings of grammar and joy
grammar and joy
oh, tidings of grammar and joy
[verse 4]
god rest ye merry, gentlemen
let’s close as we’ve begun
and also rest the ladies
who are surely not outdone
the comrades and the enbies
of all genders and of none
oh, tidings of grammar and joy
grammar and joy
oh, tidings of grammar and joy
